The Way of The Dao

Inside a room filled with abundant spirit chi, a big shadow appeared.

Ling Tian gently placed the bodies of Zhao Yu and Gu Yan on the soft beds. His treatment was quick but still very soft and gentle, taking care not to be rough or hurt them.

"Kughh!"

Zhao Yu and Gu Yan groaned in pain as their expressions paled and their soft bodies writhed in intense pain. Their Immortal Essences were flowing wildly in their meridians, which were cracked and at any moment seemed to be increasingly destroyed.

Their Spiritual Energies disappeared every time they left their bodies. Their auras totally diminished as the life force finally began to tremble.

Ling Tian stood in the middle of both women as his spirit sense completely encompassed every part of their bodies, keeping an eye out for any abnormalities.

"Yu'er! Yan'er!"

The spirit sense searched through his storage ring and he took out the small light blue-green gourd. A powerful vitality was soon felt in the room.

4 drops floated into Ling Tian's palm. These drops were the last of the remaining Essence of Dawn and Life!

Ling Tian did not hesitate and sent two drops of the Essence of Dawn and Life towards Zhao Yu and Gu Yan respectively. The drops slipped easily through their mouths, beginning to gradually soothe the pain they were feeling.

The powerful and mysterious force of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures entered both women's bodies and focused on their Dantians. Ling Tian's ability and experience could allow him to partially divide his mind to care for both women at the same time and not let anything go unnoticed.

"Due to the naturalness of the Essence of Dawn and Life with Yin energy, this should be enough for both of them."

Ling Tian sent the last two remaining drops of the Essence of Dawn and Life towards both Dantian. Ling Tian placed his two hands on the bellies of Zhao Yu and Gu Yan and his spirit sense controlled both drops of the Essence of Dawn and Life. He directed them towards their Dantians and calmed the storm that was controlled in them.

The wild flow of their Immortal Essences quickly calmed down as the force of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures ran in their meridians. Expressions of pain disappeared and their faces showed relief.

The spiritual energies seeping out of their bodies and escaping from their Consciousness Seas also soon calmed down.

However, Ling Tian's jet black eyes turned cold and filled with murderous intent!

Ling Tian's Consciousness Sea spiritual energy moved at an astonishing speed as it entered Zhao Yu and Gu Yan's two bodies the next moment.

"You'll wish you hadn't messed with my disciples!"

Ling Tian's fury filled his eyes as his spiritual energy encountered imperceptible tiny shadows on some parts of both of his female disciples' bodies. His spiritual energy met this black energy that looked like strange shadows and they fiercely clashed.

The dark energy was very powerful and did not seem to give up easily. But Ling Tian scrunched his eyebrows when he could not counter this energy with his own spiritual energy when he wanted to grope first; if this continued, both Zhao Yu and Gu Yan's bodies would be in danger and suffer more injuries if he continued to fight against these mysterious and slippery shadows that seemed to sense danger in their spiritual sense and did not stop to escape when they got the chance.

He could destroy these energies, but it would take some time and he could not allow these energies to remain in the bodies of his two female disciples.

Without wasting any time, the force of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures finally came into action and trapped those shadows that tried to hide when they sensed the danger. They did not even try to counter this force and were instantly suppressed.

Ling Tian pulled out those traces of shadows and crushed them with his hand furiously. The force of the Sacred Heavenly Scriptures covered this strange energy and prevented them from seeping out of Ling Tian's hand domain when they tried to escape.

"You really want to die by my hands, huh? Han Lushuo!" Ling Tian knew whose strange but powerful energy this was!

The Shadow Supreme! Han Lushuo!

This is a man who is on the same level as him! A super powerhouse in the Immortal realm! The same man who set him up along with the Yin-Yang Supreme!

"You're not even satisfied with my death, but now you're personally going after my disciples!"

Some meridians of Zhao Yu and Gu Yan were cracked, so their states were delicate but stable. Their immortal essences were scarce and their spiritual energies were weak. Not to mention about their weak auras that slowly recovered a little thanks to the drops of the Essence of Dawn and Life.

Ling Tian's gaze became increasingly cold and dark as he thought of Han Lushuo. He will take it upon himself to torture and kill him with his next hands the next time he encounters him!

"Mhmn..."

After an indeterminate amount of time, light murmurs came from Zhao Yu and Gu Yan. Both of their eyelashes trembled slightly before they opened their eyes and let the light illuminate their visions.

"Are you awake? Already much better little girls?"

The coldness and killing intent in Ling Tian disappeared and in its place an immense love and affection surged as he watched the two women open their eyes. A relief filled his heart.

"Mmh?"

Gu Yan and Zhao Yu blinked lazily as their visions gradually cleared up. But their ears had caught this voice and they quickly focused their attention towards the blurry figure in front of the two of them.

"... M-Master...?"

Zhao Yu was stunned as Ling Tian's blurry figure became clearer and finally looked at his face; a perfect face, handsome and dreamy, but with a unique maturity and charm that could not go unnoticed.

Zhao Yu's heart trembled with sadness, pain, nostalgia, longing... but most of all, great love at the sight of Ling Tian who smiled softly at them.

Hadn't it been a dream? Had they really found Ling Tian? Was their Master really alive?

Zhao Yu could not say a word as her body did not respond. But her eyes clearly only focused on Ling Tian while everything else seemed irrelevant.

"Master!"

Instead, Gu Yan cried out from mixed emotions once she confirmed that it really was Ling Tian!

Gu Yan jumped into Ling Tian's arms while tears had already spurted out of her beautiful eyes. Her body trembled fiercely as she clung tighter and tighter to Ling Tian's body, as if she feared that it was all a dream that she had found him.

"R-really you, Master?"

Finally Zhao Yu's figure slowly moved; her voice became shaky. Zhao Yu felt that every step, every movement, every breath weighed and hindered her body less and less, as if the heaviness in her heart was gradually disappearing as Ling Tian's image was carved more and more into her heart.

"What do you say, Yu'er? Of course it's me, your Master. Have you by any chance already forgotten your Master after a few years?" Ling Tian smiled softly with a hint of amusement but a lot of affection at the sight of Zhao Yu as he held a crying little girl Gu Yan in his embrace.

A warm feeling that surged like a spring came from the soul and flowed throughout Ling Tian's body, filling his mind but mainly his heart at the sight of these two women. His heart calmed down to a great extent and his smile became softer and softer.

But before Ling Tian responded, Zhao Yu had already thrown herself much more intensely towards Ling Tian burying her face into his chest as she began to cry too along with her junior martial sister. Zhao Yu didn't need Ling Tian's response and had already thrown herself towards him.

How could Zhao Yu forget about Ling Tian after a long time? It was impossible! She could never forget him!

Ling Tian is her unfathomable obsession!

Decades, centuries, millennia and even millions of years could pass but Zhao Yu would never forget Ling Tian's face!

This man is everything to her, everything in her world!

"Woohoo~"

"Master~!"

"Wuaah~"

Both women wept with happiness, comfort and longing in his chest as they poured their hearts out like little girls. Ling Tian smiled lovingly and gently hugged Zhao Yu and Gu Yan.

"You really didn't die, Master? I-I knew it! Yu'er knew you couldn't die!" Zhao Yu buried her face tighter between Ling Tian's chest and neck. Her soft arms squeezed tighter around his body as her exquisite body pressed more tightly against his.

"Master, Yan'er is so sorry, forgive me! Yan'er should have listened to you when you told me I'd better stay in our home!"

Gu Yan began to cry harder. Ling Tian felt the gripping strength in her tender little hands tremble. A tone of hesitation, guilt and remorse filled her voice.

"If Yan'er had listened to you, then Master would not have suffered all this! It's all Yan'er's fault!"

Gu Yan'er's crying gradually became more intense. Her teary eyes really conveyed that feeling of guilt and remorse.

Everyone knew what had happened before and the event why Ling Tian had disappeared these 100 years!

Gu Yan blamed herself because it was because of her that Ling Tian had found himself in such a situation and he couldn't do his best to resist. Ling Tian had prioritized her life over his own and made sure to save her!

How could Gu Yan not feel miserable and full of remorse all this time!

More than a Master to her, Ling Tian was her everything, He is the undeniable obsession of her heart that she fought every day and every night, every hour, every minute, every second!

At this moment, Gu Yan was taking out all her feelings of guilt, remorse, sadness and sorrow. She hoped that Ling Tian would scold her and even hate her a little, that way Ling Tian could vent as well and as a result there would be no barrier between the two of them. Gu Yan also didn't want to keep all those feelings in her heart anymore.

Zhao Yu by her side looked at her and took her hand, her expression did not show any guilt towards Gu Yan. They were all a close-knit family and never blamed Gu Yan; they all knew in their hearts that somehow Ling Tian would never blame them and would always prioritize their lives above his own!

And even though Gu Yan was at that time with Ling Tian, no one blamed her and they always tried to make her feel better. Somehow or other, they might have attacked Ling Tian when any of them were with him, if not all of them.

"What nonsense are you talking, girl?"

But before Zhao Yu said anything to deny what Gu Yan said, Ling Tian's voice rang throughout the room.

Gu Yan largely stopped crying as she timidly and hesitantly raised her gaze to look at Ling Tian. Zhao Yu had already largely calmed down and looked at Ling Tian at once.

"I couldn't die. I wouldn't resist leaving my little ones alone. You my disciples, you are my great family that the heavens compensated me for, how could I leave you alone?"

Ling Tian whispered lovingly and softly, feeling the soft and exquisite bodies of both women more and more. But Ling Tian never had any evil thoughts about both women.

"Yan'er, Master never blamed you and never will. Even though you were with me at that time, I would always make sure you were safe. If the same situation were to arise again I would do the same to save you. I would do the same for each of you."

Ling Tian gently kissed Gu Yan's forehead, carrying all his feelings of pure affection and love for this girl he watched grow up from a young age and taught her what he knew. Zhao Yu was also no exception and got a soft kiss from Ling Tian on her forehead as well.

Gu Yan was stunned and Zhao Yu was silent. Both women looked dumbly at Ling Tian without coming out of their embrace.

"But now we are gathered here, right? I didn't die and you girls managed to find me. Master is very proud and happy to have you as disciples. My beloved daughters are so capable..."

Ling Tian finally smiled more softly and lovingly and hugged Zhao Yu and Gu Yan again.

But the next second, Ling Tian raised his eyebrows in surprise as Zhao Yu and Gu Yan's bodies became stiff in his arms.
